High pressure builds in today with bright and cool weather. Watch for black ice early in the day as partially melted snow from Thursday re-froze overnight.<\/p>\n
Warm front brings some clouds and milder air in for Saturday, then Sunday turns overcast and ends wet as a low pressure area coming out of the Gulf of Mexico rides up the East Coast and brings a slug of rain to southeastern New England.\u00a0 This system is likely to be rain instead of snow because of the lack of cold air in place and a low track very close to the coast (probably over southeastern MA) during Sunday night. We’ll have to watch the hills outside of I-495 for some mixing.<\/p>\n
An arctic cold front will come through on Monday and bring some significant cold to the region for the final day of 2013 and the start of 2014. We’ll have to watch for a couple clipper systems that may threaten the region with a bit of snow from time to time during the first couple days of the New Year.<\/p>\n
